Dogs can really benefit from maintenance joint supplements or joint supplements that help with arthritis. Usually, joint pain worsens with age and these dog joint supplements bring relief to senior arthritic dogs or certain breeds that are pront to joint issues.

Typically, joint supplements can be used for:

  1. Preventative Care - Starting joint supplements early, especially in breeds prone to joint issues, can help maintain joint health and potentially delay the onset of arthritis or other degenerative joint conditions.
  2. Pain Relief: Supplements can help reduce pain and inflammation in dogs with arthritis or other joint problems.
  3. Improved Mobility: By supporting joint health, these supplements can improve a dog’s mobility and overall quality of life.
  4. Cartilage Support: Ingredients like glucosamine and chondroitin sulfate help maintain and repair cartilage, the tissue that cushions joints.
  5. Anti-inflammatory Effects: Omega-3 fatty acids, often included in joint supplements, have anti-inflammatory properties that can help reduce joint inflammation and pain.

Dogs can benefit from maintenance joint supplements or joint supplements that help with arthritis. Usually, joint pain worsens with age and these dog joint supplements bring relief to senior arthritic dogs. 

The best dog joint supplements can include a combination of the following ingredients for the best synergestic impact.

  • Glucosamine to help relieve pain and stiffness. It helps support the repair of damged cartilage.
  • Chondroitin that works with glucosamine and can help with cartilage repair and improve joint function
  • Green lipped mussles which are great for Omega 3 and anti inflammatory,
  • Curcumin (an active ingredient of turmeric) to ensure that your dog experiences pain relief/ anti-inflammatory and also has antioxidant properties.
  • MSM, which is an organic sulfur compound that can help redue pain/ inflammation. 

CBD (cannabidiol) is increasingly being used for pet joint pain. Many pet owners and veterinanarians are reporting positive results.

A Cornell University study found that “more than 80% of the dogs with osteoarthritis experienced a decrease in pain, allowing them to be more comfortable and active.” For more information, read CBD Oil for Dogs: Why people are using CBD for Dog Anxiety, Pain, Arthritis & Cancer.

To help with skin issues, heart disease and joint issues, we carry a range of pet omega oils such as krill oil, sardine oil, green lipped mussel oil, anchovy oil and even flaxseed oil for dogs specifically. Green lipped Mussel is rich in omega 3s and as an added benefit has astanxanthin, a powerful antioxidant for pet immune health. As such, we tend to prefer green lipped mussel. It is also ocean-friendly and a sustainable resource.
